Transvenous Phrenic Nerve Stimulation Implant Training

Wednesday, March 27, 2019

This conference has already taken place.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center - Columbus, OH
2 Day Conference March 27th - 28th, 2019
10.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ Hours

Description

The development of this conference is the result  of recent years of research into cardiac conditions and related sleep apnea.  Central sleep apnea is found in 47% to 83% of people with cardiovascular disease, 35% of people with high blood pressure, and 12% to 53% of people with heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke. Researchers estimate that untreated sleep apnea may raise the risk of dying from heart disease by up to five times.  Research on an implantable device designed to improve cardiovascular health by restoring a more normal breathing pattern for patients with sleep apnea has resulted in an implantable phrenic nerve stimulator.  This system is now commercially available providing the opportunity through this symposium to improve physician performance in identifying the prevalence and impact of central sleep apnea on cardiovascular disease.  This symposium will offer physicians a new option for treatment of sleep apnea.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

1. Identify the prevalence of central sleep apnea in patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation;
2. Review the techniques and skills needed for implantation of phrenic nerve stimulation systems;
3. Discuss approaches for anatomy variations and complex cases.
